Arlen Griffey (Prelude)

My son Benjamin has always been the smartest kid I ever knew We didn't have much money because I was in the army Ben was smart enough to do anything he wanted - He could easily have become a doctor, lawyer, scientist His love for music was very clear early on When he started singing all of the words to michael jackson and (?) songs When he was 5, Benjamin was mixing his own cassette tapes using an old turn table with dual casette tape deck His favourite album to sample was Michael Jacksons "Thriller" and that resulted in numerous special cassettes for Benjamin alone I'm very proud of my son for following his dream in music and refusing to surrender to the pressures of a tangled world The things I wish for Bens future are: be happy, stand up straight for your beliefs, remember your family, and help people whenever you can
